Using your refrigerator

Thermostat setting button

The interior temperature of your
refrigerator changes for the following
reasons;
• Seasonal temperatures,
• Frequent opening of the door and
leaving the door open for long periods,
• Food put into the refrigerator without
cooling down to the room temperature,
• The location of the refrigerator in the
room (e.g. exposing to sunlight).
• You may adjust the varying interior
temperature due to such reasons by
using the thermostat.
Operating temperatures are controlled by
the thermostat knob and may be set at
any position between 0 and 5 (the
coldest position).
The average temperature inside the
fridge should be around +5°C (+41°F).
Therefore adjust the thermostat to obtain
the desired temperature. Some sections
of the fridge may be cooler or warmer
(such as salad crisper and top part of the
cabinet) which is quite normal. We
recommend that you check the
temperature periodically with a
thermometer to ensure that the cabinet is
kept to this temperature. Frequent door
openings cause internal temperatures to
rise, so it is advisable to close the door
as soon as possible after use.

Freezing fresh food

• It must be preferred to wrap or cover
the food before placing them in the
refrigerator.
• Hot food must cool down to the room
temperature before putting them in
the refrigerator.
• The foodstuff that you want to freeze
must be fresh and in good quality.
• Foodstuff must be divided into
portions according to the family's daily
or meal based consumption needs.
• The foodstuff must be packaged in an
airtight manner to prevent them from
drying even if they are going to be
kept for a short time.
• Materials to be used for packaging
must be tear-proof and resistant to
cold, humidity, odor, oils and acids
and they must also be airtight.
Moreover, they must be well closed
and they must be made from easyto-
use materials that are suitable for
deep freeze usage.
• Frozen food must be used
immediately after they are thawed and
they should never be re-frozen.
• Please observe the following
instructions to obtain the best results.
1. Do not freeze too large quantities
of food at one time. The quality of
the food is best preserved when it
is frozen right through to the core as
quickly as possible.
2. Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling
system to operate continuously until
the food is frozen solid.
3. Take special care not to mix already
frozen food and fresh food.
• Hot food and beverages must cool
down to the room temperature before
puttıng them in the refrigerator.
